This is either a huge cache, or a combination of smaller caches.
This is a 50 caliber round, likely for a DSHKA heavy machine gun.
It's good to know there are fewer RPG's out there.
Notice the RC remotes at the top right. These are often used to remotely detonate IED/EFP's.
We are often asked to trade our 9mm's for these AK-47's. Nobody is touching my nine.
Look, my mortar tube is larger than his... ahem, I'm propping my foot on a 120 mm mortar tube.
Mortars. Lots of them. I like them better laying on the ground in this picture than flying in the air towards my general direction, or wired to a cell phone.
Here are the multiple flags of the 55-17 IA Brigade.Well we are back to business here. The days go by and we go to work. Our first few have gone on leave for Christmas already, and I have less than 90 days for my turn.
Hold down the homefront for us...

WOW!!! I'm really glad those mortars aren't flying toward you! Scary stuff!
I'm in awe of the job you guys are doing there, and Greg, I love your pictures. Save every last one of them. Thanks for the new posts. They really make my day.
Stay safe.
Love, Mom
Excellent blog Greg. Please mention its existence to newbie (young son) Sgt. Kessinger so he can pass on to his stateside friends. Photos are great and the narratives are super. You might want to think about photo-journalism when you get tired of eating dirt.
Bravo Zulu

Hi Greg, you don't know me but I somehow came across your blog when I was looking for marine/MTT info, blogs, etc. My fiance Kevin is currently on a MTT team over in Iraq, too, for a year. His original unit was from Camp Lejeune.
I read some of your blog and found it very interesting, the pictures and glimpses of what your team is accomplishing over there. I hope you don't mind me looking. Really admire all you marines, including my own :), and those serving our country near and far. Best wishes and take care!
